Samsung Electronics has expanded its DDR5 DRAM memory portfolio with a 512GB DDR5 module based on high-K metal gate (HKMG) process technology. Delivering more than twice the performance of DDR4 at up to 7,200Mbps, the new DDR5 will be capable of orchestrating the most extreme compute-hungry, high-bandwidth workloads in supercomputing, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), as well as data analytics applications. Samsung indicated the new DDR5 utilizes highly advanced HKMG technology that has been traditionally used in logic semiconductors. With continued scaling down of DRAM structures, the insulation layer has thinned, leading to a higher leakage current. By replacing the insulator with HKMG material, Samsung's DDR5 will be able to reduce the leakage and reach new heights in performance. This new memory will also use approximately 13% less power, making it especially suitable for datacenters where energy efficiency is becoming increasingly critical. Leveraging through-silicon via (TSV) technology, Samsung's DDR5 stacks eight layers of 16Gb DRAM chips to offer the largest capacity of 512GB. TSV was first utilized in DRAM in 2014 when Samsung introduced server modules with capacities up to 256GB.

Samsung Electronics America is bringing its upgraded line of Galaxy A Series smartphones to the US this summer, beginning with the Galaxy A50, which is available for US$349.99 (MSRP). The Galaxy A Series - including the A50, A20 and A10e - offers features and innovations at a range of accessible price points, so consumers can choose the smartphone that fits both their lifestyle and their budget, according to the vendor, said the vendor.

Samsung Electronics has announced the ultra-thin Notebook 7 and Notebook 7 Force. The slim and portable Notebook 7 includes diamond-cut edges and a near bezel-less display. Available in 13-inch and 15-inch form factors, the Notebook 7 features a glass display in Full HD. The Notebook 7 Force features Nvidia's latest GeForce GTX 1650 graphics, enabling up to 70% faster speeds than the previous generation GTX, and lets users run demanding graphic apps with ease.
